    Pulled Pork in Mes

    mason, I just got my MES 40 begin of Jan.  The best tips / advice I've encountered is estimate 2hr per lb, use Chef JJs foiling juice, and use the foil method.  Link:  http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/110881/foiling-juice-chef-jimmyj Made a few already in my MES 40 using this method, they wer...

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    Great Idea.  The link http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/133955/2012-mes-40-vs-old-model-mes-40/60#post_924783    shows a post from Grasshopper that used earth magnets (usually pretty strong) to attach, as an idea.  If interested google or amazon search neodymium magnets I also liked...

    Called MB with another question, and then also asked about controller back order. Response was they expect me to get one next week. Hoping geerock gets his today.

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    Great idea, I tried a 6 pan (I think in kitchen speak, this the next size smaller), to attempt allowing for more convection (more opening), instead of removing drip pan altogether but would not fit, must be the "long" end.

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    Wallingford, I don't disagree. I was not expecting such issues either on a brand new unit, but i had read the threads and expected some issues. I bought mine from local Sam"s in West Haven so if i don't get issues resolved I'll bring it back for refund. True though days where we expect a...

    2012 MES 40 vs. Old Model MES 40

    BTW Magnets are a great idea.  I fit the 3" elbow over the existing vent and I did use mine in temps about 30-40 degrees, condensation not that bad though and it may depend on what it is you are smoking. Another post by Fuzzyfishin (I think) said he removed the existing vent and used the entire...

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    I can't really say their service stinks or the product, (had mine begin of Jan 2013) since they have been helpful, although the last attempt for them to replace my control panel they sent me a remote instead.  Called MB service right away last week and they re-ordered the controller,no mention...

    Disappointed with amount of smoke; bought a master built electric 40" added updated part sent by mas

    must agree with Chef JJ, damn cold here too, although about +20. I also bought a new 40 MES and having temp control issues waiting on new controller, but do enjoy what it can make as is, all in all I'm happy with it.

    Hello from New Haven CT

    Just completed my first fatty - went simple - 1/2 ground pork,1/2 ground beef, sauteed onions, garlic, fresh thyme, sliced provolone and fresh jalopeno rings. My bacon weave so so, only had thick bacon.  End result very tasty...removed IT at 170.

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    When you removed the vent assembly did you use an adapter for the 3" elbow?  I'd like to try, but when I looked at removing I was wondering if it was a larger diameter after the assembly is removed.

    2012 MES 40 vs. Old Model MES 40

    Great thread, comparison, and data, Todd, I wish I had seen this earlier. As for the drip pan I also tried without and temps were all over. I did notice change for the better with food load (in smoker) on 3rd rack from the top (middle), with drip pan in, temperature differences were only...
